[Pokemon]

[hells-hikari.livejournal.com]

I also ship it, but I also thought it was creepy (female player, but I chose the male one for playing White, but I haven't reached the Ferris Wheel yet). I was torn between, "Aww, cute!" and, "Oh shit, girl, don't get on the Ferris Wheel with him, he's going to push you off it or something!" Especially when he nonchalantly revealed that he was the king of Team Plasma.

Okay, I was well-aware of his status as an anti-villain and that he wouldn't do anything to her, but still.

[caterfree10.livejournal.com]

lol, this is exactly me. See: my thoughts on secret 02. x3

[les-lenne.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was the moment where I decided he was the most socially awkward person in the Pokémon series. That scene, and when he was waiting for me in the rain outside the gym for hours. The smartest he is not, that N guy.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I played the female character and I admit I started shipping it about then... but I think it was fairly creepy and wouldn't be any more creepy if he was talking to a guy.

(Not sure if the dialogue is different but I really doubt it.)

[juandalyn.livejournal.com]

At first I thought it was cute, but with the music and when it finally got into my mind... yay, I was a bit... worried.
If this wasn't a Pokemon game, my thoughts would have gone to wtf-land. Oh wait, they still did.

[sommelier.livejournal.com]

Uh, speaking as someone who ships the male version more (simply because of my headcanon), I didn't find any of it creepy, tbh. I played through the game as both a female and male though, and the ferris wheel scene is exactly the same.

N is just incredibly socially awkward, as much as I like him. I didn't think it was creepy, I thought it was kind of sweet? I don't know. He seemed like he just wanted to be friends...?

[(Anonymous)]

Socially awkward = ew creepy, the internet says so.

[rubbersoul1967.livejournal.com]

Never played this game but I think socially awkward characters can be really cute especially if they seem to want to make friends.

[chaosmyth.livejournal.com]

ngl, I thought he was adorable too. In a "you totally don't know how to act around other people and I want to give you a hug and a pat on the shoulder" kind of way xD;

(I played the game with the male character and I totally ship those two as well <.<♥)

[typhlogirl.livejournal.com]

A strange man forcing you into a space where you can't escape? I'd call that rather creepy, but I'm not an N fan.

[corvigryph.livejournal.com]

THIS. This is how I saw it too, you took the words right out of my mouth :D

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Considering it's the same dialog, one shouldn't be creepier than the other in context. If anything, I thought that as the girl it would be seen as the "worst" one, but um. This is a Pokémon game so let's put srs IRL heteronormative issues aside.

But really, be it Hilda or Hilbert, I'm still baffled that the ferris wheel scene is seen as anything but awkward. And mind you, I do like Hilda/N (iiiiin a near future when N is less batshit.) I'm just embarrassed by my ship's stupid name making so little sense.

[corvigryph.livejournal.com]

I feel the same sans the ship name part. I think it's rather cute... wtf self, you usually think the ship names are cumbersome xD

[chiyo-no-hikari.livejournal.com]

Thank GOD it's not just me. I played as the female trainer, and I was almost yelling at my DS all throughout that scene. I mean, we know in the long run that N is just a really socially awkward dude...but at the time, the only thing I could think was, "Girl, why are you getting on that ferris wheel with the guy who has done nothing but (a.) force you to battle him and (b.) said cryptic, vaguely threatening things? THIS IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE."

[knuddeluff.livejournal.com]

Seeing the ferris wheel, I'm reminded of how much I ship male player/Clerk Trisha. Haha, what's wrong with me.

...erm, anyone got fic recs?

[sairei.livejournal.com]

"What, what, WHAT are you doing?

Look at your life, look at your choices.

This is your Sassy Gay Friend telling you that when socially awkward guys with green hair ask to go with you alone on the ferris wheel, you run away!

You stupid bitch."

spoilers in this commeeeeent

[lljscrawls.livejournal.com]

I ship player character/N as well (considering the fact that a piano version of the "Love Theme" from Mother 3 plays in the final scene when he tells the player character goodbye, I just . . . come ON, how is that NOT suggestive?!), and I still don't find that scene as shippy as I thought I would. I mean, I looked at pre-release information when the games were being released in Japan, but I did my best to keep myself spoiler-free; thus, before the games came out here in the States, I thought the scene WOULD be somewhat romantic.

Yeah . . . no.

The only thing that got me was when you suddenly get that close-up there at the end, because whenever we got close-ups from him, I always imagined it as him invading the player character's space, and getting all up in their face. And even then, that's less ~*romantic*~ and more just WHOA there, what are you doing, there is such a thing as a personal space bubble and you are invading it.

But yeah, when you're actually on the Ferris Wheel and he's all, "I'm the King of Team Plasma," I just imagine that as kind of a, "Are you joking? . . . No? Ope, so . . . bye . . ." kind of moment for the PC. Not a, "-swoon- Oooh, baby, tell me more~<3" kind of moment. =/

[ryttu3k.livejournal.com]

Heh - I've been half-following BW fandom since the Japanese release, so my immediate reaction to N is, "Aww, socially awkward adorable derp!" and not "GAH CREEPY". But if I had been playing through for the first time without knowing how the game progresses? Yeah, it'd be kinda dodgy XD;;

It is weird that the general consensus is that ferris wheel + N + Touko = romantic, but ferris wheel + N + Touya = CREEPY, though.

[zweiloss.livejournal.com]

This scene convinced me that N's spirit Pokemon is socially awkward Piplup.

[(Anonymous)]

At that point, I thought he was creepier than Cyrus. At least he just babbled halfassedly at you in relatively open spaces and didn't force you to sit next to him for five minutes as he rambled at you.

N, when you have fewer social skills than Cyrus, you know you have problems.

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

I also found it really creepy, and was sort of relieved/underwhelmed when he revealed that he's (just) the leader of the bad guys. This doesn't really stop me shipping it for reasons other than that scene.

[corvigryph.livejournal.com]

Personally... I didn't find this scene creepy or romantic, and I ship it too which I feel a tad guilty for when you consider just how childish N really is.

I feel like I'm missing something by not going either way xD

Creepy! N art is still amusing as all hell to me though.

[masked-creator.livejournal.com]

I agree. I found the whole scene just part of N's oddball personality. I didn't find anything shippy about it to be honest. Me though, I can't ship N with anyone--I think his bizarre "friendship" with the player character is more interesting (and since it's N shipping him with anyone just feels weird--that's just me though!).

[(Anonymous)]

I just see it as awkward either way 'cause N clearly has no social skills... I don't really see it as *creepy.* Though if I were in that situation I admit I'd probably be just a liiiiittle weirded out.

But yeah, the doulbe standard is strange. Although since the English version came out and people learned the dialogue, I haven't heard anyone saying it was creepy. (Not that I'm doubting people have. I just haven't heard it so I hadn't formed an opinion.)
